Hey, I'm Omar đź‘‹
I build Shopify stores and apps, focusing on developer speed and experience over writing “perfect” code. Code should be fast, maintainable, and never get in the way.
A Bit About Me
I've been working with Shopify since 2021—building themes, coding custom apps, and making sure stores run fast and smooth. Along the way, I've learned a lot about performance, scalability, and keeping things simple (because simplicity is beautiful).
